On July 29, 2025, Hinson posted about her visit to a local baseball museum: "Had a fantastic visit to the Iowa Baseball Museum of Norway this afternoon! I loved hearing the incredible history behind Norway baseball and the profound impact it has on our communities for generations.

The following day, she addressed concerns over compliance with new laws at a major state university. On July 30, 2025, she wrote: "There should be full accountability at the University of Iowa after an employee admitted that she and others at the university are skirting both Iowa & federal law that ended DEI at public institutions. I applaud Governor Reynolds for taking quick action to shut this down. https://t.co/UGG7G8xod3"
